He will have an MRI on Monday.

Kemp was asked if it would be a good idea to go on the 15-day disabled list to make sure the injury heals properly.

“I’m definitely not going on the DL,” he said. “That isn’t going to happen. The team needs me. I don’t think this is a 15-day thing. I think it’s a one-, two- or three-day thing. I won’t need to go on the DL for it.”

Kemp is hitting .359 with 12 home runs, 28 RBIs and a .446 OBP.
